HS Code 82119100
Table Knives With Fixed Blades
Worked example
On an assessable value of BDT 100,000, the total duty and taxes payable on 82119100 would be approximately BDT 64,250.00, because the Total Tax Incidence is 64.25% of the assessable value.
What these figures mean
Table Knives With Fixed Blades is classified under HS code 82119100, which sits in heading 8211 (Knives; with cutting blades, serrated or not (including pruning knives), other than knives of heading no. 8208, and blades therefore) of chapter 82 (Tools, implements, cutlery, spoons and forks, of base metal).
Under the Bangladesh Operative Tariff 2026-2027 this line attracts Customs Duty of 25%, Supplementary Duty of 0%, VAT of 15%, Advance Income Tax of 5%, Regulatory Duty of 5% and Advance Tax of 7.5%. Combined, these produce a Total Tax Incidence of 64.25%, which is the figure to multiply by the assessable value of your consignment.
The assessable value is normally the CIF value of the goods plus landing charges. Duties and taxes are applied in a defined order rather than simply added together, which is why the TTI is not the plain sum of the individual rates.
